You can The install failed with "newer version already installed" because I earlier updated and got 2.6.28-11 from main. I doubt the hw_ptr fixes are in main, if not, will you build new packages with updated version? In any case, with the 2.6.28-11 from main, I still see problems of crackling and occasionally no sound being played back in VLC. There are also logs such as: Mar 21 11:53:32 blackbird kernel: [ 3827.349760] vlc[5423]: segfault at 7f6af448b610 ip 7f6af448b612 sp 7f6af50c8108 error 7 in libpulse.so.0.7.1[7f6af4462000+5d000] Let me know if I already have your patches or I still need to install your kernel package - I am running amd64.

You can click the link for one of the debs, and Ubuntu will handle the rest for you, although I recommend that you save the deb instead of installing it immediately via gdebi. I recommend that you verify that the SHA256SUM is correct after downloading the deb. I have placed a GPG-signed SHA256SUM.asc file in that directory. Open a Terminal, and type: sha256sum where is the path to the linux-image...deb that you downloaded. Make sure the sums match. > Once I get it up, what should I test?

Yes, please attempt to reproduce bug 330814 and/or bug 344057 using whatever "normal" usage patterns. Please remember that I am only interested in PulseAudio *stability* changes, not whether PulseAudio is inaudible, etc. -Dan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Would my input in testing still be valuable? If so, then how can I start? Simply pointing me to the relevant documentation for enabling the kernel you mentioned would be a start. Once I get it up, what should I test? Should I just open different audio applications (Amarok, Skype, VLC) and try to play some files?
